Hiring an electrician in Newcastle: what to check

Licence check. This is specialist work in NSW, so a licence is needed regardless of the job’s value. Check the licence (and that it covers the right category) on the NSW Government Verify licence check.
  • Check their licence (and that it covers your type of work) before you hire.
  • Ask for a written quote that lists labour, materials and GST.
  • For residential work over $5,000 (incl. GST) in NSW, get a written contract.
  • Confirm they hold public liability insurance.
  • Check the ABN on the ABN Lookup website.
  • Ask how long the job will take and who will be on site.

Typical jobs

  • Switchboard upgrades and safety switches (RCDs)
  • Power points, lighting and LED downlights
  • Ceiling fans and exhaust fans
  • Smoke alarm installation and replacement
  • EV charger installation
  • Fault finding and emergency call-outs
  • Rewiring older homes
  • Oven, cooktop and hot water connections

Local tips for Newcastle

  • Salt air corrodes outdoor fittings, so ask about IP-rated, marine-grade outdoor lights and power points.
  • Heritage homes may have rules on external changes, so plan meter box and external light positions carefully.
  • Older homes often still have ceramic fuses, old rubber or VIR wiring and no safety switches — ask for a safety inspection before adding new circuits.

Electricians in Newcastle: FAQs

Do electricians need a licence in NSW?

Yes. Electrical wiring work is specialist work in NSW, so anyone doing it needs a licence regardless of the job’s value. You can check a licence on the NSW Government Verify licence check.

What if there’s no electrician listed near Newcastle?

Find My Tradie is a new directory, so some areas have few or no listings yet. Results always show the nearest listed electricians first, so try a nearby suburb, and check back as more local businesses join.

What should an electrician give me when the job is done?

For electrical work in NSW, the electrician must give you a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work (CCEW). They must give it to you within 7 days of finishing the work. Keep it with your home records.

Who connects a new power supply or upgrades my service?

Work connecting to the electricity network (for example a new connection or an upgrade to the service mains) is done by an Accredited Service Provider (ASP Level 2). Ask your electrician whether they are accredited or will arrange one.
